Hello, I am using the new forum since it was online, but there is one thing that does not work here. The problem is that when I login the new posts icons does not appear, and so, I cannot use the view new posts, button, and also I don't know when I watch the forums what threads have posts that I have not read.
I use firefox, and also have tried with IE, but the same occurs.
Some posible problem with the forum

On several occasions I have found the forum page width to be to big.
See: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 1dc825688d
It's not that big of a deal but it makes reading some messages difficult.
BTW my screenresolution is 1024 x 768.

Ironically, your link is making this thread slightly too wide on my browser :)MarOrt wrote:On several occasions I have found the forum page width to be to big.

Normally, though, the problem is with large images, such as screenshots. If you're using Firefox, you could use this plugin to shrink the offending images.

I can confirm this. It displays properly if there are new posts inside a forum, but not what threads are new/updated (using Firefox 1.0.6 on Gentoo Linux)counting_pine wrote:I'm still having problems. When I first log in it tells me which forums have new posts, but when I actually visit a forum, it seems to have the new posts as read.GvG wrote:The "last visit" bug should be gone now.
About the thing with too wide posts, well it happens if one long thing, it may be a word (or link it's the same) or a wide picture and the whole topic becomes that wide. That could be considered a phpbb bug, in other forum software (I think it was vBulletin) it is handled better, there only get wide the post where the wide thing is posted.
About links: Please use for long links the form
Code: Select all

As the problem with the new posts icon is still making our forum-browsing difficult 
i make this little suggestion to patch it: Create a GET var so, when you browse the forum you'd get something like that:
http://www.reactos.org/forum/
viewtopic.php?t=906&sid=longsidname&lastvisit=time
where lastvisit determines (on whatever format you want) the date since the new post icons get marked.
The main page, that knows well you last visit should then pass it to its childs (one heritage level would be enough), i think it'd be only a line to add to the forum index, and little to the viewforum as there is already that value on some variable.
So, simple visiting would work, and if it breaks we could manually add that param to the url (a copy 'n' paste on all subforums is ok for me for now
).
